Nightmare, PodCastle, StarShipSofa, and More

Just a few freebies today, but each one "costs nothing, and it's worth the price."

Fiction
• At Nightmare Magazine: "Gravitas" by Weston Ochese. Horror. "He stared bleary-eyed at the broken glass studding the land. This was his crop, seeded over the span of four weeks, irrigated from the residue of Napa Valley grapes, sun-kissed until it glistened like dew. It was the bounty of his desperation, and now was the time to harvest."

• At PodCastle: "The Queen and The Cambion" by Richard Bowes. Fantasy. “Silly Billy, The Sailor King,” some called King William IV of Great Britain. But never, of course, to his royal face. Then it was always,“Yes, sire,” and, “As your majesty wishes!”
